Abstract
A kneepad pocket is created inside the front of a trouser leg knee by making a cutout in the front of the trouser leg above the knee cap and associating an article (10) with the cutout in a way that creates the pocket. A first part has a fabric piece that forms a perimeter margin surrounding a closeable opening which has a long dimension transverse to the length of the trouser leg and through which a kneepad can be inserted into the pocket. The first part is fit to the cutout in the front of the trouser leg with the fabric piece being attached to the trouser leg. A second part is disposed inside the trouser leg and attached to the trouser leg to form top, bottom, and sides of the pocket. A third part has opposite margins that are transverse to the length of the trouser leg, one of which is attached to the fabric piece of the first part above the closeable opening and the other of which is attached to the second part below the top of the pocket. Other embodiments provide for suspension of the knee pad by a strap. They can adjust the height of the kneepad and allow the kneepad to be disconnected.

ARTICLES FOR MAKING AND SUPPORTING A KNEEPAD
INSIDE A TROUSER LEG
Reference To Related Application and Priority Claim [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part, and claims the priority, of Application No. 11/977,484, filed on 25 October 2007, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Field of the Invention [0002] This invention relates to articles for making a kneepad pocket and for supporting a kneepad inside a trouser leg.
Background of the Invention [0003] Knee protection is important to people who for whatever reason need to kneel on any fairly hard surface. It is especially important to tradespeople who often must kneel on particularly hard surfaces like brick, concrete, etc. while performing their jobs.
[0004] One type of knee protection device is held in covering relation to the anterior of the knee by adjustable and/or elastic straps that girdle the leg both above and below the knee. The straps are tightened to some degree around the leg and that may cause some discomfort to the wearer due to constriction of the leg. When worn around a trouser leg, the straps also bunch the trouser material while constricting the leg. Such a knee protection device may be constructed to have a hard outer shell with a softer, cushioned pad lining the inside. When the person wearing such a device stands and ambulates after kneeling, the presence of the device is often noticeable.
PacificO1 CIP
PacificO1 CIP
[0005] An alternate arrangement for knee protection comprises a kneepad disposed in a pocket on the outside of a trouser leg knee. Such a pocket can be sewn onto a new or a used pair of trousers.
[0006] The environment in which a person uses knee protection may be one in which debris accumulates on the kneeling surface. A pocket that is not fully closed, or another type of device that is somewhat open, may provide an opportunity for such debris to find its way into the pocket, or between the knee and the protection device, and that is undesirable because intrusion of harder pieces of debris behind the pad or protector will be felt by the wearer, often painfully. In any event, the intrusion of debris, dust, and the like dirty a pocket and pad, and the pad eventually requires removal.
[0007] Examples of various knee protection arrangements for use with trousers appear in various patents. Many are poorly suited for use in an environment that contains debris. Many are not especially comfortable to wear. None of those patents that the inventor has seen show or suggest the inventive article that is being disclosed here for enabling a trouser leg to be provided with a kneepad in a novel way.
Summary of the Invention [0008] One general aspect of the invention relates to an article for enabling a kneepad pocket to be created on the inside of a trouser leg in front of a person's knee.
Summary of the Invention [0008] One general aspect of the invention relates to an article for enabling a kneepad pocket to be created on the inside of a trouser leg in front of a person's knee.
[0009] The article comprises first, second, and third parts. The first part comprises a closeable opening having a long dimension transverse to the length of the trouser leg and a first fabric piece providing a perimeter margin surrounding the closeable opening. The second part PacificO1CIP
comprises a second fabric piece that is large enough to cooperate with the trouser leg to form a majority of the pocket when its perimeter margin is disposed against the inside of the trouser leg and attached to the trouser leg. The third part comprises a third fabric piece having a marginal portion that is transverse to the length of the trouser leg attached to a portion of the second fabric piece at a location below a top margin of the second piece and an opposite marginal portion attached to a marginal portion of the first fabric piece that is above the closeable opening.

Article 10 can be fabricated in several sizes, such as a men's size and a women's size, for enabling most people to use them.
PacificOICIP
[00037] Fabric piece 12 is cut to rectangular shape to form a back piece that will cooperate with the front of a trouser leg to form the pocket.
In an example of a men's size article, piece 12 is 11.75 inches by 8.00 inches. The outer perimeter margin of piece 12 is intended to attach to the inside of a trouser leg (as will be explained) to make the pocket generally rectangular in shape with a top, two sides, and a bottom. For attaching piece 12 to the trouser leg, the outer perimeter margin of the face of piece 12 that is toward the inside of the front of the trouser leg contains an iron-on adhesive strip 13 that is held in place by any suitable means such as stitching 13A extending along the four sides as shown. Strip 13 may be a single piece of iron-on adhesive material or several individual strips of iron-on adhesive material arranged as shown.
In an example of a men's size article, piece 12 is 11.75 inches by 8.00 inches. The outer perimeter margin of piece 12 is intended to attach to the inside of a trouser leg (as will be explained) to make the pocket generally rectangular in shape with a top, two sides, and a bottom. For attaching piece 12 to the trouser leg, the outer perimeter margin of the face of piece 12 that is toward the inside of the front of the trouser leg contains an iron-on adhesive strip 13 that is held in place by any suitable means such as stitching 13A extending along the four sides as shown. Strip 13 may be a single piece of iron-on adhesive material or several individual strips of iron-on adhesive material arranged as shown.
[00038] Fabric piece 14 has a rectangular area 14A that is wider than it is high. Area 14A contains an elongate opening 14B centered widthwise in the rectangular area, but somewhat closer to the top than to the bottom. Piece 14 also has a rectangular flap 14C extending from the top of area 14A. The flap is centered along the width of the piece 14 but is not as wide as area 14A.
[00039] For attaching area 14A to the trouser leg, the face of area 14A that is toward the inside of the front of the trouser leg contains an iron-on adhesive strip 15 that is held in place by any suitable means such as stitching 15A. Strip 15 may be a single piece of iron-on adhesive or several individual strips of iron-on adhesive arranged in the pattern shown. Strip 15 fully surrounds opening 14B but does not have to fully cover area 14A.
PacificO 1 CIP
[000401 The purpose of flap 14C is to provide for attachment of pieces 12 and 14 to each other as shown by Figures 5 and 6 where the top margin 14C 1 of the flap is shown attached, such as by stitching, centrally of the width of piece 12 parallel to and a short distance below the portion of strip 13 running along the top margin of piece 12.
Attaching the two pieces 12, 14 together facilitates subsequent attachment of article 10 to the trouser leg and assures that piece 12 is properly located to the trouser leg before strip 13 is ironed to the trouser leg.
[000411 Fabric piece 16 has a generally rectangular shape that is wider than it is high. The four corners are shown rounded, but could be straight along the edges. Piece 16 contains an elongate opening 16A
that is centered in the piece.
[000421 For attaching piece 16 to the trouser leg, the inner face of piece 16 that faces toward the outside of the front of the trouser leg contains an iron-on adhesive strip 17 that is held in place by any suitable means such as stitching 17A. Strip 17 may be a single piece of iron-on strip adhesive material or several individual strips arranged in the pattern shown. Strip 17 surrounds opening 16A but does not necessarily have to fully cover the area of piece 16. Preferably however, the outer perimeter of strip 17 is congruent with the outer perimeter of piece 16.
[000431 Zipper 18 has the usual mechanism 18A and a surrounding fabric margin 18B that provides for the zipper to be attached to another piece of fabric. Zipper 18 is placed in front of piece 14 so that when mechanism 18A is disposed within opening 14B, the fabric margin 18B overlaps the margin of area 14A surrounding opening 14B, and strip 15 is not covered. Margin 18B and the margin of area 14A
PacificO 1 CIP
surrounding opening 14B are attached together, such as by stitching 19, to form a part 20.
[000441 Figure 5 shows piece 16 disposed over the front of piece 14 with zipper mechanism 18A centered within opening 16A. Parts 14 and 16 are attached to each other by stitching 21 around the margin surrounding opening 16A so as to leave a crevice 23 between the outer margin of piece 16 that contains strip 17 and outer margin of area 14A that contains strip 15. Crevice 23 extends around the entire margin surrounding stitching 21.
[000451 Figures 5 and 6 show the finished article 10. In Figure 5, piece 14 is essentially flat against piece 12. It can be seen that area 14A is wider than piece 16. In Figure 6, flap 14C is not flat against piece 12, but is flexed to show zipper 18 moved to a position that is spaced forwardly (to the right in the drawing) of piece 12 but still connected to piece 12 by flap 14C. When piece 14 is disposed flat against piece 12, the entire article 10 is generally flat and suitable for packaging and sale in that condition.
[000461 Next, how article 10 is used to create a kneepad pocket will be described.
[000471 Figure 7 shows a pair of trousers 40 containing markings 41 just above the knees that are used for making cutouts 42 shown in broken lines. Proper locations in the trouser legs for the cutouts are made by a person putting on the trousers and squatting down as shown in Figure 8. With a taylor's chalk, or other suitable marker, the person makes the markings 41 by drawing a line across the width of each trouser leg about one inch above the top of each knee cap.
PacificO 1 CIP
[000481 After the lines have been marked, the trousers are then removed and laid out on a flat surface. A tracing pad, or template, 50 shown in Figure 7 to the outside of each trouser leg and on a larger scale in Figure 9, is a flat piece of material, such as plastic, that has an elongate opening 52 running widthwise. The outer perimeter edge of the tracing pad corresponds to the shape of material to be cut out of each trouser leg to make a cutout 42.
[000491 Opening 52 is placed on a marking 41, and the cutout is traced on the trouser leg by using taylor's chalk to trace around the outer perimeter edge of the tracing pad. Opening 52 is generally centered widthwise of the trouser leg. If the line 41 that was marked while the person was kneeling is not generally parallel with the width of the trouser leg, the tracing pad can be turned as required so that opening 52 is better aligned with the trouser leg width before tracing. The trouser legs are then cut around the tracings to remove elongate pieces of material that leave the cutouts 42. Care should be taken to cut through only the front of each trouser leg. A typical size for a cutout is 4.75 inches by 0.5 inches.
[000501 After a cutout has been made, the article 10 is then associated with the front of a trouser leg so that the margin of the cutout 42 lodges in the crevice 23, as shown by Figure 13, with pieces 12 and 14 being disposed on the inside of the trouser leg and piece 16 is on the outside.
Piece 16 is positioned so that the length of zipper 18 is substantially true with the elongate cutout and so that the margin of piece 16 is substantially flat against the margin of the cutout. In that position, piece 16 is temporarily pinned to the front of the trouser leg at locations such as those indicated at 64 in Figure 5.
PacificO1 CIP
[000511 The trouser leg is turned inside out and placed on a flat surface.
Piece 12 is folded about flap 14C out of the way so that the margin of area 14A that contains the iron-on strip 15 is uncovered. The sides of that margin are then ironed to cause the underlying portions of strip 15 to adhere to the inside of the trouser leg. Because those sides are beyond the sides of piece 16, care in ironing them will avoid also melting the side portions of strip 17 and hence avoid adhering part 16 to the front of the trouser leg at this time. The longer portions of strip 15 that run across the top and bottom margins remain unironed at this time.
[000521 Piece 12 is then folded back flat against the inside of the trouser leg and its margin is ironed to cause strip 13 to adhere the margin of piece 12 to the trouser leg thereby forming the pocket.
[000531 Next the trouser leg is turned right side out and the back of the leg is placed against an underlying surface so that piece 16 is facing up.
The margin of piece 16 is unpinned and then ironed to cause strip 17 to adhere the piece to the trouser leg. The trouser leg can be then once again be turned inside out and the ironing of piece 14 to the trouser leg completed.
[000541 A complete pocket P has now been created inside one leg with a zippered opening in the front of the leg. The process is repeated for the other leg. With each zipper open, a respective pad (not shown) of suitable material can be inserted through it from the front of the trouser leg into the respective pocket. The zippers are then zipped shut. Figure 10 shows the completed installations in the two trouser legs.
PacificO 1 CIP
[000551 The second embodiment of article 10 shown in Figures 11 and 12 is like the first in that the top margin of flap 14C is stitched to piece 12 in the same way that the top margin 14C 1 of flap 14C is in Figures and 6. It is however different in that flap 14C is a separate cut piece of fabric that is stitched to a separate cut piece 14 that in the second embodiment may be considered equivalent to area 14A of the first embodiment. Flap 14C can have the same or different width as in the first embodiment.
[000561 The second embodiment differs in that piece 16 is not used.
Zipper 18 is stitched to piece 14, being placed either in front of or behind piece 14, preferably the latter, so that zipper mechanism 18A
is in registration with opening 14B.
[000571 The bottom widthwise margin of flap 14C is stitched to fabric of the stitched-together fabric margin 18B of zipper 18 and piece 14 at a location just above zipper mechanism 18A and below the portion of the iron-on strip 15 that runs along the top margin of piece 14.
[000581 A further difference is that strip 15 is on the face of piece 14 that is toward piece 12 because piece 14 will be on the outside of the front of the trouser leg. Consequently the zipper is in effect attached only to the outside of the front of the trouser leg whereas in the first embodiment it is in effect attached both to the outside and the inside.
[000591 Because flap 14C of the second embodiment is attached along its top margin to piece 12 and along its bottom margin to fabric to which the zipper is stitched, correct placement of the zipper in the trouser leg cutout assures that the piece 12 will be properly located to create the kneepad pocket in the proper location.
PacificO1 CIP
[000601 The second embodiment is installed by pinning piece 14 in proper location, placing piece 12 flat against the inside of the trouser leg, ironing piece 12 to the inside of the trouser leg, and ironing piece 14 to the outside.
[000611 When a kneepad of suitable size is placed in a pocket created by any embodiment of the inventive article, the fabric of the trousers and article allow the interior of the pocket to conform to the thickness of the kneepad.
[000621 The use of a zipper enables the pocket to be closed to dust and debris when the trousers are used. It also enables the kneepad to be conveniently inserted into and removed from the pocket. The flexibility of the fabric of the article combined with flexibility of the trouser fabric allow for some length, width, and thickness of the kneepad, and that capability is useful in providing for the use of different density pad material, some of which is thicker and some of which is thinner. Such choice of pad material may be important to a particular person.
[000631 The article 10 shown in Figure 14 has components like those of the embodiment shown in Figure 12, but not all of them are shown.
Part 12 is longer so that when the article is installed in a pair of trousers, as in Figure 15, the kneepad pockets P that are created extend further down the trouser leg than in Figure 10. The article shown in Figure 14 also includes a tether 70 for suspending a kneepad 72 within a pocket. Tether 70 can be a long band or strap that is fastened at its upper end in any suitable way to the article. When kneepad 72 is suspended, its weight, although not large, is enough to PacificO 1 CIP
pull on the tether so that the kneepad is suspended at a desired depth inside the pocket.
[00064] Rather than depending upon the bottom of the pocket P to vertically locate the kneepad in the pocket, the embodiment of Figure 14 possesses the ability to vertically set the location of the kneepad within the pocket. This is because the tether's effective length can be set to allow the kneepad to be suspended at any of various heights along the length of the trouser leg. The side margins of piece 12 that are fastened to the trouser leg to provide for piece 12 to cooperate with the front of the trouser leg in creating the kneepad pocket are placed against the inside of the leg in locations that properly locate the kneepad widthwise of the trouser leg so that the kneepad will fit in the pocket and be freely vertically suspended by the tether. The bottom of piece 12 does not necessarily have to be stitched to the trouser leg, allowing the pocket to be open at the bottom. In addition to allowing the kneepad to be suspended at various depths in a pocket, various embodiments of the suspension also allow the kneepad to be disconnected from the tether and removed from the pocket.
[00065] The tether 70 in Figure 14 is an example of a hook-type Velcro strip 70 having Velcro hooks on the front face 70F. A small piece 74 has Velcro loop-type material on both its front face 74F and its rear face 74R. The front face 74F attachably/detachably attaches to tether face 70F along a free end portion of the tether's length that has passed through a slot 76 in kneepad 72 to extend upward from kneepad 72 in front of the more rearward suspending portion of the strap 70. The more that the free end portion is pulled up, the higher that the kneepad is suspended. When the kneepad has been suspended at a desired PacificO1 CIP
height with the front face 74F of piece 74 attached to the strap, the rear face 74R is forced against face 70F of the suspending portion of the strap to complete the attachment. The kneepad is supported by the bottom of the U- or V-shaped loop formed in the strap. In this way, the location at which the piece 74 releaseably attaches to the suspending portion of strap 70 determines how far down the tether, and hence how deep in the pocket, the kneepad will be when it hangs inside the pocket.
[00066] While piece 74 could have loop-type Velcro only on face 74R and be stitched or bonded to the free end of strap 70, the use of double-sided Velcro for piece 74 provides the advantage of shortening the length of strap 70 to allow a kneepad to be suspended even higher.
Piece 74 can be detached from the strip, an appropriate amount of the free end length cut off and discarded, and the piece 74 re-attached.
[00067] By detaching either face of piece 74 from strap 70, the strap can be pulled out slot 76 to allow the kneepad to be removed from the pocket.
[00068] It is to be noticed that the article in Figure 14 also includes a flap 78 that covers the zipper, but can be lifted to allow the zipper to be zipped and unzipped.
[00069] Figures 16 and 17 show a separable connector, a gaiter clip 80 for example, for allowing a kneepad to be disconnected from and reconnected to a tether. One part 80A of the connector has fingers 82 that flex inward as their ends are pushed into an open end of an opposite part 80B. When parts 80A and 80B are fully attached to each other, bumps 80C on the sides of the fingers lodge in slots 80D to keep the two parts connected. To release the connection, the fingers PacificO 1 CIP
are squeezed together by squeezing on the bumps so that they clear slots 80D, allowing the two parts 80A, 80B to be pulled apart. The top of part 80A comprises a horizontal slot 84, and the bottom of part 80B
comprises a horizontal slot 86.
[00070] A tether that uses the gaiter clip can have a D-ring or double D-ring for setting the effective length of the tether, and hence setting the height of a kneepad relative to a trouser leg. Figure 18 shows a D-ring 90 by itself, and Figure 19 shows a double D-ring 92. D-ring 90 has two parallel slots 94, 96. Double D-ring 92 has three parallel slots 98, 100, 102; it also has a series of small raised protuberances 104.
[00071] Figure 20 shows the use of D-ring 90 to set the height of a kneepad relative to a trouser leg. A strap 110 has a length extending from one end 112 to an opposite end 114. Beginning at end 112, the strap runs downwardly to pass through slot 94 and then upwardly to loop over and around end 112. From there the strap extends downwardly behind the D-ring to pass through slot 84 of gaiter part 80A from rear to front. It then extends upwardly to pass through slot 94 from rear to front below the portion that already extends through that slot. From there, it extends downwardly to pass through slot 96 from front to rear.
[00072] A sew line is indicated by the numeral 116. The parts through which the sew line passes are sewn along a horizontal line of sewing with the article placed in a trouser leg. When zipper 18 is unzipped, the strap and associated parts can be accessed. If the bottom margin of piece 12 is left unattached to the trouser leg, then access to the pocket interior can be had through the open bottom.
PacificO1 CIP
[00073] The effective length of the strap for suspending the kneepad is set by the extend to which end 114 is pulled downwardly through slot 96.
It is to be appreciated that the showing of Figure 20 is not to scale and intended to be schematic of how the strap is threaded through the various slots. The fabric and thickness of the strap and the thicknesses of the D-ring slots provide fits and friction for maintaining an adjustment once the strap has been tightened in place. The strap can be any suitable material, such as a woven fabric.
[00074] Figure 21 is similarly schematic. As the strap comes upward from connector 80 toward double D-ring 92, it passes first through slot 100 from the rear and then downwardly and through slot 102 from the front. The protuberances 104 aid in holding the adjusted strap in adjusted position.
[00075] The embodiments of Figure 20 and 21 allow the kneepad to be disconnected from the strap without unthreading the strap from the D-ring and the double D-ring by disconnecting part 80B from part 80A.
By unthreading the strap from the D-ring and double D-ring and sliding it out of the slot 84 in part 80A, the kneepad can also be separated from the strap.
[00076] While Figure 14 shows the kneepad having a centrally located slot 76 through which a single suspension strap passes to suspend the kneepad, Figure 22 shows a kneepad 72 with a different attachment means. Short straps 120, 122 are attached at their lower ends to the kneepad symmetrically to either side of a vertical centerline through the kneepad. A respective ring 124, 126 with a respective horizontal slot 128, 130. An arrangement like that of Figure 14 but using two straps like strap 70, each running through a respective slot 128, 130, PacificO 1 CIP
can be used to suspend the kneepad of Figure 22 and adjust it height along the trouser leg.
[00077] Figure 23 shows that different adjustment means can be used on either side of a kneepad. The one on the left uses the double D-ring 92 and a strap running through one of two slots 76 in the kneepad 72.
The one on the right uses the D-ring 90 and a strap running through the other of the two slots in the kneepad 72.
[00078] Figures 24-27 shows kneepads with one, two, three, and four slots 76 respectively. The use of more than one strap may provide better side-to-side balance in the suspension so that the kneepad tends to hang straighter.
[00079] While a presently preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, it should be appreciated that principles of the invention apply to all embodiments falling within the scope of the following claims.
PacificO 1 CIP
[000401 The purpose of flap 14C is to provide for attachment of pieces 12 and 14 to each other as shown by Figures 5 and 6 where the top margin 14C 1 of the flap is shown attached, such as by stitching, centrally of the width of piece 12 parallel to and a short distance below the portion of strip 13 running along the top margin of piece 12.
Attaching the two pieces 12, 14 together facilitates subsequent attachment of article 10 to the trouser leg and assures that piece 12 is properly located to the trouser leg before strip 13 is ironed to the trouser leg.
[000411 Fabric piece 16 has a generally rectangular shape that is wider than it is high. The four corners are shown rounded, but could be straight along the edges. Piece 16 contains an elongate opening 16A
that is centered in the piece.
[000421 For attaching piece 16 to the trouser leg, the inner face of piece 16 that faces toward the outside of the front of the trouser leg contains an iron-on adhesive strip 17 that is held in place by any suitable means such as stitching 17A. Strip 17 may be a single piece of iron-on strip adhesive material or several individual strips arranged in the pattern shown. Strip 17 surrounds opening 16A but does not necessarily have to fully cover the area of piece 16. Preferably however, the outer perimeter of strip 17 is congruent with the outer perimeter of piece 16.
[000431 Zipper 18 has the usual mechanism 18A and a surrounding fabric margin 18B that provides for the zipper to be attached to another piece of fabric. Zipper 18 is placed in front of piece 14 so that when mechanism 18A is disposed within opening 14B, the fabric margin 18B overlaps the margin of area 14A surrounding opening 14B, and strip 15 is not covered. Margin 18B and the margin of area 14A
PacificO 1 CIP
surrounding opening 14B are attached together, such as by stitching 19, to form a part 20.
[000441 Figure 5 shows piece 16 disposed over the front of piece 14 with zipper mechanism 18A centered within opening 16A. Parts 14 and 16 are attached to each other by stitching 21 around the margin surrounding opening 16A so as to leave a crevice 23 between the outer margin of piece 16 that contains strip 17 and outer margin of area 14A that contains strip 15. Crevice 23 extends around the entire margin surrounding stitching 21.
[000451 Figures 5 and 6 show the finished article 10. In Figure 5, piece 14 is essentially flat against piece 12. It can be seen that area 14A is wider than piece 16. In Figure 6, flap 14C is not flat against piece 12, but is flexed to show zipper 18 moved to a position that is spaced forwardly (to the right in the drawing) of piece 12 but still connected to piece 12 by flap 14C. When piece 14 is disposed flat against piece 12, the entire article 10 is generally flat and suitable for packaging and sale in that condition.
[000461 Next, how article 10 is used to create a kneepad pocket will be described.
[000471 Figure 7 shows a pair of trousers 40 containing markings 41 just above the knees that are used for making cutouts 42 shown in broken lines. Proper locations in the trouser legs for the cutouts are made by a person putting on the trousers and squatting down as shown in Figure 8. With a taylor's chalk, or other suitable marker, the person makes the markings 41 by drawing a line across the width of each trouser leg about one inch above the top of each knee cap.
PacificO 1 CIP
[000481 After the lines have been marked, the trousers are then removed and laid out on a flat surface. A tracing pad, or template, 50 shown in Figure 7 to the outside of each trouser leg and on a larger scale in Figure 9, is a flat piece of material, such as plastic, that has an elongate opening 52 running widthwise. The outer perimeter edge of the tracing pad corresponds to the shape of material to be cut out of each trouser leg to make a cutout 42.
[000491 Opening 52 is placed on a marking 41, and the cutout is traced on the trouser leg by using taylor's chalk to trace around the outer perimeter edge of the tracing pad. Opening 52 is generally centered widthwise of the trouser leg. If the line 41 that was marked while the person was kneeling is not generally parallel with the width of the trouser leg, the tracing pad can be turned as required so that opening 52 is better aligned with the trouser leg width before tracing. The trouser legs are then cut around the tracings to remove elongate pieces of material that leave the cutouts 42. Care should be taken to cut through only the front of each trouser leg. A typical size for a cutout is 4.75 inches by 0.5 inches.
[000501 After a cutout has been made, the article 10 is then associated with the front of a trouser leg so that the margin of the cutout 42 lodges in the crevice 23, as shown by Figure 13, with pieces 12 and 14 being disposed on the inside of the trouser leg and piece 16 is on the outside.
Piece 16 is positioned so that the length of zipper 18 is substantially true with the elongate cutout and so that the margin of piece 16 is substantially flat against the margin of the cutout. In that position, piece 16 is temporarily pinned to the front of the trouser leg at locations such as those indicated at 64 in Figure 5.
PacificO1 CIP
[000511 The trouser leg is turned inside out and placed on a flat surface.
Piece 12 is folded about flap 14C out of the way so that the margin of area 14A that contains the iron-on strip 15 is uncovered. The sides of that margin are then ironed to cause the underlying portions of strip 15 to adhere to the inside of the trouser leg. Because those sides are beyond the sides of piece 16, care in ironing them will avoid also melting the side portions of strip 17 and hence avoid adhering part 16 to the front of the trouser leg at this time. The longer portions of strip 15 that run across the top and bottom margins remain unironed at this time.
[000521 Piece 12 is then folded back flat against the inside of the trouser leg and its margin is ironed to cause strip 13 to adhere the margin of piece 12 to the trouser leg thereby forming the pocket.
[000531 Next the trouser leg is turned right side out and the back of the leg is placed against an underlying surface so that piece 16 is facing up.
The margin of piece 16 is unpinned and then ironed to cause strip 17 to adhere the piece to the trouser leg. The trouser leg can be then once again be turned inside out and the ironing of piece 14 to the trouser leg completed.
[000541 A complete pocket P has now been created inside one leg with a zippered opening in the front of the leg. The process is repeated for the other leg. With each zipper open, a respective pad (not shown) of suitable material can be inserted through it from the front of the trouser leg into the respective pocket. The zippers are then zipped shut. Figure 10 shows the completed installations in the two trouser legs.
PacificO 1 CIP
[000551 The second embodiment of article 10 shown in Figures 11 and 12 is like the first in that the top margin of flap 14C is stitched to piece 12 in the same way that the top margin 14C 1 of flap 14C is in Figures and 6. It is however different in that flap 14C is a separate cut piece of fabric that is stitched to a separate cut piece 14 that in the second embodiment may be considered equivalent to area 14A of the first embodiment. Flap 14C can have the same or different width as in the first embodiment.
[000561 The second embodiment differs in that piece 16 is not used.
Zipper 18 is stitched to piece 14, being placed either in front of or behind piece 14, preferably the latter, so that zipper mechanism 18A
is in registration with opening 14B.
[000571 The bottom widthwise margin of flap 14C is stitched to fabric of the stitched-together fabric margin 18B of zipper 18 and piece 14 at a location just above zipper mechanism 18A and below the portion of the iron-on strip 15 that runs along the top margin of piece 14.
[000581 A further difference is that strip 15 is on the face of piece 14 that is toward piece 12 because piece 14 will be on the outside of the front of the trouser leg. Consequently the zipper is in effect attached only to the outside of the front of the trouser leg whereas in the first embodiment it is in effect attached both to the outside and the inside.
[000591 Because flap 14C of the second embodiment is attached along its top margin to piece 12 and along its bottom margin to fabric to which the zipper is stitched, correct placement of the zipper in the trouser leg cutout assures that the piece 12 will be properly located to create the kneepad pocket in the proper location.
PacificO1 CIP
[000601 The second embodiment is installed by pinning piece 14 in proper location, placing piece 12 flat against the inside of the trouser leg, ironing piece 12 to the inside of the trouser leg, and ironing piece 14 to the outside.
[000611 When a kneepad of suitable size is placed in a pocket created by any embodiment of the inventive article, the fabric of the trousers and article allow the interior of the pocket to conform to the thickness of the kneepad.
[000621 The use of a zipper enables the pocket to be closed to dust and debris when the trousers are used. It also enables the kneepad to be conveniently inserted into and removed from the pocket. The flexibility of the fabric of the article combined with flexibility of the trouser fabric allow for some length, width, and thickness of the kneepad, and that capability is useful in providing for the use of different density pad material, some of which is thicker and some of which is thinner. Such choice of pad material may be important to a particular person.
[000631 The article 10 shown in Figure 14 has components like those of the embodiment shown in Figure 12, but not all of them are shown.
Part 12 is longer so that when the article is installed in a pair of trousers, as in Figure 15, the kneepad pockets P that are created extend further down the trouser leg than in Figure 10. The article shown in Figure 14 also includes a tether 70 for suspending a kneepad 72 within a pocket. Tether 70 can be a long band or strap that is fastened at its upper end in any suitable way to the article. When kneepad 72 is suspended, its weight, although not large, is enough to PacificO 1 CIP
pull on the tether so that the kneepad is suspended at a desired depth inside the pocket.
[00064] Rather than depending upon the bottom of the pocket P to vertically locate the kneepad in the pocket, the embodiment of Figure 14 possesses the ability to vertically set the location of the kneepad within the pocket. This is because the tether's effective length can be set to allow the kneepad to be suspended at any of various heights along the length of the trouser leg. The side margins of piece 12 that are fastened to the trouser leg to provide for piece 12 to cooperate with the front of the trouser leg in creating the kneepad pocket are placed against the inside of the leg in locations that properly locate the kneepad widthwise of the trouser leg so that the kneepad will fit in the pocket and be freely vertically suspended by the tether. The bottom of piece 12 does not necessarily have to be stitched to the trouser leg, allowing the pocket to be open at the bottom. In addition to allowing the kneepad to be suspended at various depths in a pocket, various embodiments of the suspension also allow the kneepad to be disconnected from the tether and removed from the pocket.
[00065] The tether 70 in Figure 14 is an example of a hook-type Velcro strip 70 having Velcro hooks on the front face 70F. A small piece 74 has Velcro loop-type material on both its front face 74F and its rear face 74R. The front face 74F attachably/detachably attaches to tether face 70F along a free end portion of the tether's length that has passed through a slot 76 in kneepad 72 to extend upward from kneepad 72 in front of the more rearward suspending portion of the strap 70. The more that the free end portion is pulled up, the higher that the kneepad is suspended. When the kneepad has been suspended at a desired PacificO1 CIP
height with the front face 74F of piece 74 attached to the strap, the rear face 74R is forced against face 70F of the suspending portion of the strap to complete the attachment. The kneepad is supported by the bottom of the U- or V-shaped loop formed in the strap. In this way, the location at which the piece 74 releaseably attaches to the suspending portion of strap 70 determines how far down the tether, and hence how deep in the pocket, the kneepad will be when it hangs inside the pocket.
[00066] While piece 74 could have loop-type Velcro only on face 74R and be stitched or bonded to the free end of strap 70, the use of double-sided Velcro for piece 74 provides the advantage of shortening the length of strap 70 to allow a kneepad to be suspended even higher.
Piece 74 can be detached from the strip, an appropriate amount of the free end length cut off and discarded, and the piece 74 re-attached.
[00067] By detaching either face of piece 74 from strap 70, the strap can be pulled out slot 76 to allow the kneepad to be removed from the pocket.
[00068] It is to be noticed that the article in Figure 14 also includes a flap 78 that covers the zipper, but can be lifted to allow the zipper to be zipped and unzipped.
[00069] Figures 16 and 17 show a separable connector, a gaiter clip 80 for example, for allowing a kneepad to be disconnected from and reconnected to a tether. One part 80A of the connector has fingers 82 that flex inward as their ends are pushed into an open end of an opposite part 80B. When parts 80A and 80B are fully attached to each other, bumps 80C on the sides of the fingers lodge in slots 80D to keep the two parts connected. To release the connection, the fingers PacificO 1 CIP
are squeezed together by squeezing on the bumps so that they clear slots 80D, allowing the two parts 80A, 80B to be pulled apart. The top of part 80A comprises a horizontal slot 84, and the bottom of part 80B
comprises a horizontal slot 86.
[00070] A tether that uses the gaiter clip can have a D-ring or double D-ring for setting the effective length of the tether, and hence setting the height of a kneepad relative to a trouser leg. Figure 18 shows a D-ring 90 by itself, and Figure 19 shows a double D-ring 92. D-ring 90 has two parallel slots 94, 96. Double D-ring 92 has three parallel slots 98, 100, 102; it also has a series of small raised protuberances 104.
[00071] Figure 20 shows the use of D-ring 90 to set the height of a kneepad relative to a trouser leg. A strap 110 has a length extending from one end 112 to an opposite end 114. Beginning at end 112, the strap runs downwardly to pass through slot 94 and then upwardly to loop over and around end 112. From there the strap extends downwardly behind the D-ring to pass through slot 84 of gaiter part 80A from rear to front. It then extends upwardly to pass through slot 94 from rear to front below the portion that already extends through that slot. From there, it extends downwardly to pass through slot 96 from front to rear.
[00072] A sew line is indicated by the numeral 116. The parts through which the sew line passes are sewn along a horizontal line of sewing with the article placed in a trouser leg. When zipper 18 is unzipped, the strap and associated parts can be accessed. If the bottom margin of piece 12 is left unattached to the trouser leg, then access to the pocket interior can be had through the open bottom.
PacificO1 CIP
[00073] The effective length of the strap for suspending the kneepad is set by the extend to which end 114 is pulled downwardly through slot 96.
It is to be appreciated that the showing of Figure 20 is not to scale and intended to be schematic of how the strap is threaded through the various slots. The fabric and thickness of the strap and the thicknesses of the D-ring slots provide fits and friction for maintaining an adjustment once the strap has been tightened in place. The strap can be any suitable material, such as a woven fabric.
[00074] Figure 21 is similarly schematic. As the strap comes upward from connector 80 toward double D-ring 92, it passes first through slot 100 from the rear and then downwardly and through slot 102 from the front. The protuberances 104 aid in holding the adjusted strap in adjusted position.
[00075] The embodiments of Figure 20 and 21 allow the kneepad to be disconnected from the strap without unthreading the strap from the D-ring and the double D-ring by disconnecting part 80B from part 80A.
By unthreading the strap from the D-ring and double D-ring and sliding it out of the slot 84 in part 80A, the kneepad can also be separated from the strap.
[00076] While Figure 14 shows the kneepad having a centrally located slot 76 through which a single suspension strap passes to suspend the kneepad, Figure 22 shows a kneepad 72 with a different attachment means. Short straps 120, 122 are attached at their lower ends to the kneepad symmetrically to either side of a vertical centerline through the kneepad. A respective ring 124, 126 with a respective horizontal slot 128, 130. An arrangement like that of Figure 14 but using two straps like strap 70, each running through a respective slot 128, 130, PacificO 1 CIP
can be used to suspend the kneepad of Figure 22 and adjust it height along the trouser leg.
[00077] Figure 23 shows that different adjustment means can be used on either side of a kneepad. The one on the left uses the double D-ring 92 and a strap running through one of two slots 76 in the kneepad 72.
The one on the right uses the D-ring 90 and a strap running through the other of the two slots in the kneepad 72.
[00078] Figures 24-27 shows kneepads with one, two, three, and four slots 76 respectively. The use of more than one strap may provide better side-to-side balance in the suspension so that the kneepad tends to hang straighter.
[00079] While a presently preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, it should be appreciated that principles of the invention apply to all embodiments falling within the scope of the following claims.
